docs(README): remove cvs and configure items
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
They are largely duplicating what we have in doc/bash_completion.txt,
and inaccurate in saying the vars can be set to anything -- they need to
be set to a non-null value.

**Q. I use CVS in combination with passwordless SSH access to my remote
repository. How can I have the `cvs` command complete on remotely
checked-out files where relevant?**

A. Define `$COMP_CVS_REMOTE`. Setting this to anything will result in
the behaviour you would like.

**Q. When I'm running a `./configure` script and completion returns a list
of long options to me, some of these take a parameter,
e.g. `--this-option=DESCRIPTION`.**

**Running `./configure --help` lists these descriptions, but
everything after the `=` is stripped when returning completions, so
I don't know what kind of data is expected as a given option's
parameter.**

**Is there a way of getting `./configure` completion to return the
entire option string, so that I can see what kind of data is
required and then simply delete the descriptive text and add my own
data?**

A. Define `$COMP_CONFIGURE_HINTS`. Setting this to anything will
result in the behaviour you would like.

**Q. When completing on a symlink to a directory, bash does not append
the trailing `/` and I have to hit <kbd>&lt;Tab></kbd> again.
I don't like this.**
